Dr. Stephen Cosentino

Business Consultant

Stephen Cosentino, DO, is the founder, President, and Medical Director of Empire Medical Training, Inc. (EMT), the global leader in continuing medical and Aesthetics education and procedural training for physicians and healthcare professionals.

For more than 20 years, Dr. Cosentino has been acknowledged as the “go‑to” authority for helping physicians and healthcare practitioners expand their practice — a celebrated business and practice‑management consultant to medical practices throughout the United States and abroad, providing the latest industry insights and pathways for building strategy aligned with the tools and tactics to achieve practice‑building results.

Dr. Cosentino has developed a team of physician and business‑practice experts who help practitioners develop and enhance new and existing Medical or Aesthetics practices, consulting through private one‑on‑one sessions or through his team of distinguished physicians and business consultants.

Beyond Aesthetics Medicine, Dr. Cosentino also works with practitioners to establish their own Wellness Centers, spanning Aesthetics as well as Hormone and Sexual Health services.

Founder, Empire Aesthetics Meeting™

Dr. Cosentino launched Empire Medical Training’s annual Empire Aesthetics Meeting (EAM) in 2016 — world‑class education on the hottest topics and trends in non‑surgical and surgical aesthetic medicine. In contrast to EMT’s hands‑on training workshops, the EAM combines lectures and demonstrations by top‑of‑field physicians.

The EAM unites esteemed industry practitioners to lead physicians and allied healthcare professionals through courses focused on the most sought‑after Aesthetics Medicine trends and time‑honored procedures — a networking and educational hub where challenges are shared and ideas spark solutions, open to physicians, dentists, nurses, PAs, and entrepreneurs alike.

Founder and President, The American Academy of Procedural Medicine

The AAOPM was created in 2004 out of Dr. Cosentino’s vision for a pathway where practitioners could acquire new skills and work toward a recognized standard of care and excellence. It offers board‑certification pathways for physicians and healthcare practitioners, overseen by an advisory board that develops AMA‑accredited training programs. To date, the AAOPM counts more than 50,000 members and board‑certified practitioners.

The AAOPM also maintains a practitioner directory that helps patients locate physicians offering medical and aesthetic services — a coveted member benefit for acquiring new patients.

Philosophy

“For me, excellence is not just a word. It is a way of life. Everything I do starts with respecting and valuing relationships — whether with the incredible physician educators who bring great pride to Empire Medical Training, or with my personal world of family and friends. The guiding principle is demonstrating unquestionable value and respect, every time, with every encounter, no matter what. I am dedicated to always doing what I believe is right — to exceeding expectations, consistently, with passion and vigor.”
